TOPIC: [All Server SUGGESTION]

Server Name:
ALL zarp servers
Suggestion Title:

Option 1:
Rule Change

Option2:
Idle Kick for certain servers.

After a period of time being afk have the server kick the player.

How would it benefit the server:

Stop annoyed players who are trying to contact staff.
Stops annoyance to other staff members(MANY reason).

Potential Issues/Exploits: N/A other than some salt xD

Additional notes: I love zarp and all, but i hate certain things that happen within this community.

P.S THIS is more aimed towards staff, not normal players

People should be allowed to be AFK. It makes no sense to stop people being on the server...

They aren't promoted based off their game time just saying

so lets say i have to go to the tollet..

do i have to leave...

I don't see how this is a huge problem for SSRP - staff over there are evaluated over their F1 count and not weekly game time afaik. But for Deathrun and TTT, this can be a real issue. I can understand staff staying in spectator to handle reports and simply watch over the server, but when people are unresponsive and doing this maliciously, it can be a real issue.

YES but not for an extensive time, UNLESS it is for example a job that allows afk such as Mining.

Well i beg to differ, from what i've seen on surf as an example, AND the ammount of times, I alone have said about afking, i've seen a promotion involving their playtime, and I've spoken to 1. para, and 2. luan about this person BEFORE involving afk.

AND as luan said when i first told him, He doesn't care if they are afk it looks like players are on.

BUT no one seems to understand the point. Being afk happens some times, i go afk every now and then, but i log off if i know i'm going to be a while.
AFK staff 1. can make players leave, 2. make players annoyed and 3. make staff annoyed.

I've said about staff members being afk, for extensive periods of time like ffs the person was afk for well over an hour. and yet when i said about it, i simply got well whats wrong with it, or I don't care it looks like players are on.

i will state again for people who tend NOT to read full posts. Going afk happens some times it is fine, however extensive periods unless a job such as miner allows it, should not be.


We as staff are here to help when we are on the server, NOT log on, play a little, and then disappear for an hour or two while logged on to the server, and i personally have had message asking to log on a server, by an annoyed player because a staff member is afk, while still logged on.

Some things in SSRP i would class as fine to afk, such as Shop Owner, and Miner. but players who might go afk for lets say an hour as gangsta or cop, take up a wasted spot on that job(Yes can be demoted using command)
So SSRP is more moderated on afk, because players will just demote if the player is afk.


====== UPDATE =====

IDLE kick timer(Updated in post above)

Ok, so this is not an issue because I have never come across this being an issue. Staff are not promoted based on their activity alone as we try to look for activity, f2 count, interaction, going the extra mile and much more depending on what is needed so that point does not make any sense. If the players ask for help and the staff member does not respond then I will just logically think "oh, this staff member is AFK and most likely doing something in real life or something more important right now so because of this information I have gathered I will just leave him alone and not just judge someone's moderating or administrating skills on the fact that the staff member is unavailable just like they would be if they were not on the server " so it really makes no difference at all if the staff member is AFK or not. So, in conclusion, I don't see why a staff member should be disadvantaged and not granted the privilege being able to be idle. Of course the staff members should not try intentionally farm activity as little damage it would have to the server it still does not look good but that is something that you can discuss with the staff member that is idle and if they are basing or if they are AFK printing they don't want to be kicked or punished for being AFK in those setting or in any setting that is. so if your point is relating to TTT on TTT there is already a function that if you are AFK then you automatically get set to spectator and even if they are AFK in spectator mode if it is such an issue that their rank depends on it then I am very sure that some one would have noticed by then and at least reported it and that goes to all servers that work like that and when it comes to servers like surf and Bhop being AFK is no harm because it makes it seem like people are on so it can popularise the server and get people to come on the server and maybe enjoy it. I hope you take this into account because I actually took the time to write this out when it is 3 am in the morning and I need to wake up soon but I don't want to go to sleep because if I lie down then I will start coughing and I can still not sleep for some reason as I have this weird insomnia and I might just be going crazy as I am just writing this randomly for no exact reason but just to write something because I don't have anything to do at this point in time so I will just stop writing now because if I don't then my fingers might fall off, pulse is normal and I am tired, Out.

Punctuation ON pOint

Are you still smoking weed dude? These suggestions are bad man. Staff need to go afk at times to deal with irl situations or even me for example, I need to maintain Teamspeak and forums and while I'm on SSRP I need to go afk for certain times so it really isn't needed. Also kicking players for AFK? Then I'd believe we'd have like only 5 players by then as when people are afk our gametracker score goes up. Sorry dude but on all.

This can be locked.

After having a chat with a little someone,with the nice magical, Mario Godmode powerup, i personally have decided to have this locked.

main thing said involves how game tracker works, now know this, game time is important for a server.

ALSO this post was not targeted at anyone, however 1 person was used as an example, and was not intended to be targeted at anyone, sorry if it was.
